Make yourself comfortable. Gently close your eyes. Breathe in deeply and exhale slowly. Let go of all worries and tensions.

Become aware of your breath. With each inhale, feel fresh air flowing into your lungs. With each exhale, relax and let go.

Imagine yourself in a peaceful garden. The trees sway gently and the lapping of a river lulls you to sleep. Feel the serenity of this place.

Think of the events of your life as leaves falling from a tree. Some are light and easy to let go of, others are heavier. That is the nature of life.

Remember that you can't control everything that happens to you. Like falling leaves, events happen. Let this realization wash over you.

When you realize that these events fall like leaves, feel that you can choose your reaction. You are the guardian of your thoughts and feelings.

Imagine you are holding a leaf in your hand. It is an event in your life. Squeeze it gently and then let it go. Feel the lightness of letting go.

With each breath, remind yourself that your reaction is under your control. You can choose to accept what is and find peace in the present moment.

Feel gratitude for this ability to control your reaction. It is your strength, your calm in the midst of the storm.

Return gently to your physical surroundings. Feel the ground beneath you, the sensations in your body. Become aware of the present moment.

Continue to meditate on this stoic thought. Remember that life is like a garden, where events happen as they happen. Your response to this is the key to cultivating inner peace.

Remain this calm for the next few minutes, remembering the stoic wisdom, "You can't control everything that happens to you, but you can control your reaction to those events."

This is the end of this meditation. Thank you for being with me those few minutes.

I wish you a very pleasant day my friend.
